We assist our clients with both transformational and incremental change, through a range of projects spanning Strategy, Operational Capability Development, and Technology Implementation. This work requires a strong understanding of the Health Plan market and competitive environment, so that change can be engineered to attain important consumer, employer group, broker/channel partner, or provider network needs.

Our clients are major health plans located in California that compete in Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid markets. We serve the CxO, SVP, VP, and Director levels of these organizations. We lead and manage strategy initiatives, as well as performance improvement projects, across the entire Health Plan business process landscape:

Our management consultants have at least 10 years of direct experience with these business processes, which enables them to effectively design and organize critical work to achieve measureable outcomes.

If we take good care of you, you will take good care of our clients.

You want to be paid well and be challenged, and work with high caliber colleagues that push you to be better, and you want the ability to build a career with work/life balance.

You want the ability to build a career around work/life balance
